PRODUCTS Seall Passage Planner Strengthened with AIS Feature Jargoon has announced that a new interface to AIS Hub has been add- ed to Seall Passage Planner (SPP). The versatile passage planning soft- ware which was launched in No- vember 2013, provides AIS by us- ing the SPP Virtual AIS Radar. This allows quick access to vessel traffi c within the coverage of the Hub’s traffi c tracking service, and display the collated data to the mariner during passage planning. www.jargoon.co.uk Martek’s Network- Connected ECDIS Martek Marine’s one-of-a-kind iECDIS integrates a GSM modem, offering automatic download and installation of charts, updates and notices to mariners, reducing ad- ministrative burdens associated with CD updates. The GSM modem uses mobile network signals to keep iEC- DIS up to date anywhere with mo- bile signal, downloading the most recent piracy warnings and weather forecasts which can be instantly overlaid on the chart display itself. www.martek-marine.com SCI Simulator Offers One-on-One Training With a new simulator in full opera- tion, SCI helps mariners complete assessments previously only avail- able in large class settings or in the real world when exact conditions could be met on the water. The simulator offers affordable one-on- one assessments to help meet indi- vidualized training goals, obtaining credentials for licenses, and radar recertifi cation. For mariners apply- ing for new jobs, it allows them to demonstrate skills to the company. www.seamenschurch.org McMurdo Group Accelerates Integration of SAR Technologies The new global leader in end-to-end search and rescue (SAR) and mari- time domain awareness (MDA) so- lutions is McMurdo Group.
